MegaCloud - Dropbox Alternative
Another business player has appeared on the Internet, providing backup and data synchronization services in the cloud, with the outstanding name MegaCloud .
The player is new, respectively, “buns” for ordinary users, he provides quite a lot: 8 GB of cloud space for synchronization + 8 GB of cloud space for creating backups. There is also a bonus program that allows you to get an additional 9.5 GB of space in the cloud for your friends (19 GB if you are a student) and even for little things for other merits.
Naturally, there are paid accounts, but not cheap: 100 GB for 10 Euro / month, 200 GB for 20 Euro / month.
The service has apps for Android, iOS, Windows and Mac OS, very similar to Dropbox apps. For Windows, two applications are installed at once: a data synchronization client and a backup and restore client. Applications work without any complaints.
The client for data backup is simple and convenient. Allows you to backup data from both local and network drives. The download speed to the cloud is small, about 100 KB / s.
The sync client is very similar to the Dropbox client.
It uploads files to the cloud quite quickly (at first, the speed is 200 KB / s, but it quickly grows to 500 KB / s).
Through the web interface there is support for drag-n-drop files, sharing both folders and files (both by links and for specific accounts), integration with Facebook and Twitter services (via web applications). For example, you can “tweet” about new photos or upload them to your Facebook album.
There are some limitations that personally do not suit me. For example, when sharing photos with individual links, I get links to a web explorer that opens each photo separately, and not direct links (as implemented in Dropbox). Nevertheless, this service can compete with drop-box in terms of free use and is quite suitable for this.
